US Marine Corps Commander General Robert Neller said on Thursday in Washington, D.C. that the US military must be psychologically prepared for a war with North Korea.
“It will be a very, very kinetic, physical, violent fight over some really, really tough ground, and everybody is going to have to be mentally prepared,” Neller said, according to CNN.
“When they train, they have to keep in the back of their mind, they have to be [ready] physically, mentally, and always their spirit has to be steeled and ready for serious conflict that’s going to test them beyond anything they have ever done in their lives, that was my only intent. And I’ll say that as long as I’m in this office because that’s my job,” Neller added.
Neller said a war on the Korean peninsula would be an extremely bloody affair and wouldn’t involve “just a bunch of things flying around.”
But the Marine Corps commandant said of such a hypothetical conflict: “I wasn’t saying it’s going to happen. I hope it doesn’t happen, I don’t want it to happen.”
Neller reportedly made the comments at a Maritime Security Dialogue event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the US Naval Institute.
Yeah americans, get mentally prepared to get you ass kicked!…
Always when you fight ,we must know that God’s Human dies innocent life’s blood in on North Korea and USA will face the last GOD’s JUDGEMENT….LET THERE BE PEACES
oh it’s definitely going to happen, I hope America is the one that gets the bloody nose though
South Korea does not want war. How many American soldiers can USA send to Korea?
Nukes will not be allowed by China and Russia so it has to be conventional forces.
I heard French President declared "I will visit China every year of my Presidency." Japan got to wake up and stop dreaming. It’s now the 21st century.
Americans are addicted to war, and have been at it from the inception, beginning with their wars on the Native Americans and fanning out all over the globe. Their solution to EVERY problem is to declare war on it, be it drugs, AIDS, poverty, international disputes. The world is sick of these Klingons.
Yeah right by a 4th world junk military?
Lol just lol
Really?, l hope no Americans die on your behalf
Sanctions against North Korea went into effect just a few weeks ago. What happened? Sanctions are supposed to solve the problem and prevent wars. There was a lot of media coverage with Pyongyang and Seaul agreed to talk. Now we have this article.
This tells me sanctions are not working. As for war with North Korea in East Asia and supporting a war in the Middle East dealing with the Kurds when Trump is pushing for a vibrant economy does not mix well.
Then we have the containment of Iran, dealing with China and the South China sea and tensions with Russia. Something has to give if all of the above goes into play. America’s economy could be one casualty. Another is North Korea’s capacity to transfer her nuclear technology to the Arab world as a reply to America’s plans of military action against her.

Like they did in the first Korean War stupid. Your US forces got their asses kicked for sure. And what do you think will happen when China enters it.
Kevin Fazlic Do you really believe that the chinese and the russians will accept an american stike on NK? I don’t think so. Be prepared to face a real army, maybe two!…
If USA attacks North Korea, North Korea will retaliate by dumping all its nuclear bombs on various cities in USA starting with Washington DC. Tens of millions Americans will be vaporized. And if USA replies by using its nuclear bombs on North Korea, China and Russia will nuke USA with all their nuclear bombs. The whole population of USA will be wiped out.
General Neller must understand that the US forces will be the most psychologically damaged goods from the States. Revisit the Vietnam War Syndrome, mein herr.
Kevin Fazlic buy yourself a 3rd millenium tv
You should denuclearize yourself. 🙂
Kevin Fazlic Are your comments dictated by the dog on the photo? If not let that dog write something meaningful.
Military psychology is to psychology what military music is to music.
No need for war guys
This warmongering idiot has mental problems!
Kevin Fazlic China says they will come in on the side of NK if the US invades.A false flag will not work anymore for these warmongers. Russia will also enter the war on the side of NK.
Why does America likes to go across their border and start a war that they always loose.its not right..no other country go pick war with them…its called BULLY…
I really hope this talk is just a lot of hoop-la. I really hope we do not make any military actions against North Korea, mainly because…….does anyone think that our country will not be bombed if we attack North Korea? Because I am sure we will be, if I am sure of nothing else. But really, why would we attack North Korea?
What have they done to us? Has North Korea attaked us? No. It is just too dumb for words.
Nuke war will not be fought by foot soldiers but, by nuke missiles and all are considered collateral damage. There will be no discrimination on who got killed. This is a war of total annihilation.
US military seems mostly focused on politically correct socialist-femininist justice
behavior within its ranks.
Thomas Daniel Kuhn Neither Chaina nor Russia will enter into Korean War if it really Happens coz the first to fire a bullet from N Korea only, if it really does it is a funeral for N Korea
Go to heal……..those having the sentiment or mentality of destroying the world inviting wars in different part of the world. Go for peace dialog….otherwise the world will be no more with the words of war.
Rambabu Chavali NK will never shoot first, they are not stupid. Of course, there vould be a flase flag attempt to discredit NK but, Russia is already on the alert, checking evey move, so is China. It could only come from the USA but actually, they are blocked, powerless…
There is no way on this globe north Korea can come out victorious in a war with America. Americans fight with pride! They fight for generations to come. Don’t want to see a war still. Back in the days instead of sending millions to die you select the two leaders and put them to fight to the death. Maybe we need to consider this option. Less blood shed.
OK this is the policy, if America happen to leave not Korea I tell you forget world power issue. There will be no any other country in world will respect America anymore. Is a world politics. Hope you get it?
Only the dead will see the end of war here on earth.
War is not solve it’s very dengereous things.It’s know US very well.A lot innocent people die a war.So,pls cool & find out how avoit this war.

Kim jong-un doesn’t have god, he think that he is always right and strong, US commader just anticipated the event that would possibly happen, for his fellow American’s and to the whole world to know, however if china and Russia will back up NK it will be a Muhammad ali agianst hollyfield, tyson and hopkins fight. No good, after the war what happen next? There is no problem if US win, what if the other win?
Let not it happen for God’s sake !
